of Saluda and greatly improving the appearance of the corner of Ozone Drive and Thompson St., a highly visible site on the most important entry road into Saluda. The kudzu removal project took two years of weekly work with volunteers. The organization also coordinated with the North Carolina Department of Transportation, which owns the property, showing how cooperation between a state agency and a local land trust can greatly benefit a town. Nora Parks Anderson received the award for the land trust during the City of Saluda’s June council meeting.

Bob Lane - Sunnydale Bob Lane received an award for the complete renovation of the historic log cabin known as Sunnydale, located on South Trade Street in Tryon. Lane, who owned the building, renovated it and then donated it to Tryon Little Theater with an agreement that the building be made available for community events.

Walnut Creek Preserve – Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center Walnut Creek Preserve received an award for building the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at the preserve, a learning

center for southern Appalachian forest studies in the Sunny View area of Polk County. Babs and Bob Strickland of Walnut Creek Preserve received the award.

This is the second year the appearance commission has given awards. The awards are given for projects that the public can view.

To receive a certificate the beautification work must be something the general public can see from public roads or sidewalks or be on a property that is open to the public. The property can be either privately or publicly owned, Cooper said.

“Making our county more beautiful for the public to see has the immediate benefit of allowing those of us who live here to enjoy our home county all the more,” Cooper said. “There are at least three other important reasons why public beautification work is important and these reasons relate to economic and tourism development.”

Cooper said when an area’s buildings and roadsides are beautiful, clean and green, it attracts tourists and guests who will stay a while, eat in area restaurants, shop in area stores and stay in local B&Bs or inns. Cooper said the county also has a better chance to bring in new businesses, grow (Continued on page 8)

TRYONBAPTIST -“We pageare 31 more appealing to someone who may decide to build their dream home here in one of our several devel-

$23,000. Mayor and council salaries will actually decrease this year from $15,500 in the current budget to $14,000 in 2012-2013.

Landrum’s budget, if approved, would amount to $1,576,539, which includes an increase from $502,910 to $550,000 in current tax revenues. City officials also anticipate an increase in hospitality tax revenue this year; that revenue is budgeted to come in around $150,300, up from $145,000 this budget year.

Mayor Robert Briggs said he was pleased to see the amount of revenue anticipated

for next fiscal year. “Where our big concern was over the last couple years was the tax we receive from Spartanburg County and it looks like they are doing much better than we anticipated,� Briggs said.

He did say, though, that the city administrator works conservatively in estimating those expected revenues. “That’s the way we’ve always budgeted – a little more restrictive on our revenues and a little more on our expenditures.

• Landrum budget (continued from page 8)

In case something comes up and things get tight there will be room to cut,” Briggs said.

The city’s millage rate for property taxes will not change, remaining at 73.9.

Landrum does not plan to hire additional personnel, but the budget does include funds for the purchase of a new police car as it does most years, Wolochowicz said.

Costs for the city’s garbage removal contract did go up $21,800 from last year.

The city renegotiated its garbage contract with GDS last year, which caused rates to go up across the board for residential and commercial customers. Recycling costs also increased. The rates will not increase again from what they did this past year and Wolochowicz said he does not expect them to go up for the next five years of the contract.

“I think [the budget is] commendable. It’s being held almost to what it was last year, except for a few things we already knew were going to go up anyway. I think that should be noted.”

-- Councilman Jon Matheis

Councilman Jon Matheis said he was pleased with the budget.

“I think it’s commendable, Steve, really,” said Matheis. “It’s being held almost to what it was last year, except for a few things we already knew were going to go up anyway. I think that should be noted.”

Matheis made a motion to accept first reading of the 2012-2013 budget, and the council voted to approve it.

Full Proof Ministries celebrates one year at new location Community invited to celebrate June 22

Full Proof Ministries Church family invites everyone to come and celebrate the church’s one-year anniversary at 199 Jackson St. in Tryon and the 10-year anniversary of Full Proof Ministries.

On Sunday, July 22, service will begin at 3 p.m., followed by dinner after the service. Please RSVP for dinner attendance at 828-817-1216.

Pastor Timothy B. Brown, SR and co-pastor Sharon K. Brown began this journey in July 2002.

After 19 years of ministry with the CME Church Conference, Rev. Brown said he was led by God to start a non-denominational church in Tryon. The church was started in the home, moved to Roseland Community Center and in July 2011 moved to its new location on Jackson Street.

In 2003, the Browns purchased the property and a club formally known as the Payton’s Club. This

Pictured at the Full Proof Ministries new sign are (from left): Barbara Selby, Hannah Brown, Sharon Brown, Rev. Timothy Brown, Jo Ann Miksa-Blackwell, Andrew Suber-Brown and Mia Brown. (photo by Leah Justice)

club began operation in the 1970s at the height of the disco age. The club was known for live bands and parties. Now Full Proof Ministries has changed the club into a place of praise and worship.

During the past seven years Full Proof Ministries raised money and paid as they went, which made it possible to pay the church off. The 5,060 sq. ft. facility hosts a commercial kitchen, dining area and

2,580 square ft. sanctuary equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system. The facility is located on 10 acres with mountain views.

North Carolina nears end of rural road paving program Rodney Howell

Cell - (864) 320-6447

Pressure Washing

Free Estimates • Commercial & Residential Specializing in Log Cabin Restoration Re-stain and New Stain • Caulking • Chinking

2x1 2/2/18;3/4,18 HOWR-

A rural road paving program launched in 1989 in North Carolina is running out of roads to pave.

After paving approximately 13,000 miles of roads over the past 23 years, the N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) says it has paved approximately 90 percent of the roads that are eligible for paving in the state.

Many of the remaining 1,842 miles of roads that are eligible for paving are in mountainous areas in the western part of the state.

In coastal Onslow County, for example, only 2 percent of roads are unpaved. But, in the 25 westernmost counties, 14 percent of secondary roads remain dirt and gravel.

As the number of miles left to pave has dwindled, some lawmakers have questioned whether the state should continue the program. In recent budget years, some funding has been pulled from the program to go for bridge repair and road maintenance. Still, most lawmakers, particularly those from western districts, say the state should continue the rural road paving until it’s complete.

The program, initiated to improve and pave every statemaintained dirt and gravel road in the state, has brought paved road to the driveways of nearly 200,000 homes. Early in the program, DOT focused on paving roads that served the greatest number of houses.

As a result, the paving work reached more houses in the first eight years of the program than it has in the past 15 years.

During the first eight years, the paving program served an average of 18 houses per mile of asphalt. DOT’s rural road paving plan for the next two

years will serve an average of eight homes per mile. The cost of paving also has gone up over time with rising fuel and asphalt costs. The average cost of paving gravel roads has risen from $250,000 to $350,000 per mile since 2007.

DOT’s upcoming two-year plan calls for spending $130 million to pave 325 miles.

Even when the program is complete, there still will be some unpaved roads in the state.

DOT lists 1,927 miles of roads that are not eligible for paving due to environmental issues or landowners’ refusal to grant rights of way.

*** Spartanburg County is not a very healthy place to live, according to residents of the county. A recent survey of 3,197 adults in the county found that most consider the county to be “somewhat healthy,” but they were outnumbered by those who ranked the county as either “unhealthy” or “very unhealthy.”

The survey, conducted by public health researchers at USC-Upstate, found that cancer, obesity and alcohol and drug addiction are the county’s top three health problems. The respondents also identified tobacco use, lack of exercise and poor eating habits as risky behavior impacting the health of the community. About 20 percent of residents in the county lack health insurance, leaving many of the county’s health services out of reach.

Appreciate CPD for BikeSafe class I would like to say I appreciate the Columbus Police Department for their time and effort in hosting a wonderful BikeSafe class Friday, June 22, and I encourage every motorcycle rider in Polk County to attend one of these sessions.

Chief Chris Beddingfield started off the daylong course by introducing himself and the other evaluators. Getting to know the evaluators created a comfortable learning atmosphere. They all had extensive and varied motorcycle riding experiences. This gave us confidence in their riding abilities, and built trust between the student and the evaluator.

After a brief inspection of the students’ motorcycles, we went through a couple of presentations.

The first presentation focused on the “Top Killers.” Do you know the number one killer of motorcycle riders? I’ll give you a hint, alcohol is in the top 5, but it is not number one. After “Top Killers” we moved on to “Bad Riding Behavior.” The number one bad behavior of most motorcycle riders: following too closely.

Each of the presentations had a lot of practical information along with videos that reflected their main idea. Chief Beddingfield, Officer Ruff and the other evaluators would initiate discussions with the students as we moved through the material.

It was a great give and take of riding experiences.

After the morning class session, two students were paired with each evaluator and we all went on a ride. It was a short ride on local roads. Even though I knew I was being watched, I really enjoyed the ride (and it wasn’t because the ride ended with lunch).

Even lunch was a time of reflection and learning. We sat together and received valuable feedback. As I ate lunch, I was able to listen to my evaluator

critique my riding style as well as learn from my classmates and their evaluations. Everyone had a positive and caring attitude.

After lunch we returned to the classroom for a presentation of riding hazards and the “SYSTEM” module of motorcycle riding. Just like the first classroom session, there were related videos to watch and great discussions.

Early in the afternoon the sky began to rumble and it looked like rain, so we quickly went through (Continued on page 29)

They will also learn wire finishing and wrapping techniques to attach their completed charms, beads, buttons, metal, stone and crystal embellishments to a double link chain base.

McClure has a B.S. in interior design. She left a successful corporate career spanning more than 20 years, sold her house in the San Francisco East Bay and moved to a remote barrier island of the Outer Banks of North Carolina to follow an artistic path: finding, assembling, creating and marketing jewelry that she calls sculpture in the form of wearable art. In 2000, she moved to the mountains of Western North Carolina, where her work is well known by local

connoisseurs of art jewelry.

Students should bring personal mementos and ephemera: decorative papers; greeting cards; copies of personal letters and photos; ticket stubs; images from magazines, books and/or junk mail catalogs; special buttons, beads and other small items.

If possible, students should bring scissors, tweezers, round nose pliers and chain nose pliers.

They should also bring a lunch.

Advance registration for all workshops is required. For more information, contact Tryon Arts and Crafts School at 828-8598323 or tryonartsandcrafts@ windstream.net.

Cooper Riis joins PAC in rescuing native plants from right-of-way On June 13, by invitation from the Tryon Garden Club, Cooper Riis joined the Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) to help rescue native plants from a N.C. Department of Transportation right-of-way scheduled for clearing later this year.

The group from Cooper Riis arrived at the site bright and early to join PAC in the rescue efforts.

PAC land protection specialist Pam Torlina greeted the group and explained the intentions and goals of the project, where the right-of-way area was, pointed out the plant species that needed rescuing and gave a brief explanation about helpful digging techniques.

The group wasted no time and went right to work digging up plants for rescue.

After a couple of hours rescuing native plants, the group from Cooper Riis was invited to visit the nearby Pearson’s Falls and enjoyed a peaceful picnic after a hard morning of rescuing native plants.

For more information about how you can help save native plants or for information about PAC and/or voluntary conservation easements, visit the PAC office at 850 N. Trade St. (Hwy. 176), contact PAC at 828-8595060, or e-mail info@pacolet.org.

Steps to HOPE hosts domestic violence basics training Domestic Violence Advocate and National Trainer Kit Gruelle was the presenter at a recent training session entitled “Domestic Violence Basics: Understanding Domestic Violence and Its Impact” sponsored by the North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence Training Institute.

Staff from neighboring domestic violence shelters, as well as Polk County DSS and Steps to HOPE staff, attended this all-day Level 1 course. Lunch was provided by LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods of Columbus.

Training topics included: • Dynamics and impact of domestic violence • Abusive behavior and common tactics of abusers

• Understanding challenges faced by victims • Supportive advocacy and active listening • Legal options and resources for survivors.

Gruelle, herself a survivor of domestic violence, has worked as an advocate for battered women and their children for 26 years.

She is a community educator who collaborates with law enforcement and other criminal justice professionals, health care providers, clergy, legislators, educators and other allied professionals to prevent family and domestic violence.

Gruelle is featured in several training films and has co-authored protocols for sexual assault and domestic violence first respond-

ers, public safety dispatchers and hostage negotiators. She is the producer of a feature-length film entitled “Private Violence: The Movement Against Battering in America,” which draws from more than 150 hours of interviews with domestic violence survivors and advocates, pioneering activists and vocal allies of the movement, including Vice President Joseph Biden.

Gruelle also serves as a commissioner for the North Carolina Crime Victims Compensation Commission.

Gruelle’s article “Healing From Within: Physicians Responding to Battered Women” was recently included in “The Physician’s Guide to Intimate Partner Abuse,” by Drs.

Kit Gruelle

Dear Savvy Senior, Can you write a column on volunteer vacations? My husband and I are both in our 60s and are interested in taking a serviceoriented “altruistic� vacation this summer but could use some help. ~ Retired Travelers Dear Retired, If you’re looking to do more on your vacation than relax in the sun or go sightseeing, volunteer service vacations – also known as voluntourism – are a great alternative and a growing trend among retirees.

Strauss & Associates, PA Here’s what you should know.

Estate Planning Voluntourism and Administration Nowadays, you don’t need Attorneys to join the Peace Corps Preserving andto travel to exotic destinations and serve Protecting Your Assets others. Many organizations today offer short-term volunteer projects overseas and in the U.S., lasting anywhere from a few days to a few months.

Common program themes include teaching English, working with children and teens, building and repairing homes andEsq schools, Lee C. Mulligan, . and assisting community or Family with Foundations

environmental projects. In adwork and how much money also do dition, volunteer vacations I need to set one give travelers the up? opportunity to A. A "family foundation" is what experience culture fully the tax lawthe refers to as amore "private and connect with the local people foundation". – The muchusual different than your run-ofplanning technique is to have a CRT pay its funds the-mill sightseeing vacation. into a family foundation created Most volunteer vacation groups in the trust maker's will or trust. accept singles, couples and famiThe children of the trust maker lies you don’t need to speak a areand usually on the foundation foreign language. typically board of trustees,Costs and their job is to from decide which$700 charities are range around to $1,500 receive income donations a to week, notthe including transportaeach year in accordance with tion the countryleft yourbysite the toinstructions theis in.

Fees typically cover pre-trip

orientation information, room and your estate has to be in order to justify planning is board, on-sitethis training, ground purely subjective, but a general standard of tax specialists is a minimum of one million dollars.

People who do this type of planning most often site their reason for doing so a desire to give their children control of wealth rather than wealth outright so they can live lives "

# Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techinques.

Savvy Senior transportation once you get there, the services of a project leader, and a contribution to the local community that covers material and services related to the project. And, if the organization running your trip is a nonprofit, the cost of your trip, including airfare, is probably tax deductible.

Where to look While there are dozens of organizations that offer volunteer vacations, here are some good ones that attract a lot of retirees. • Earthwatch Institute (earthwatch.org, 800-776-0188): A global nonprofit that offers one and two-week expeditions that focus on environmental conservation and field research projects all over the world. • Globe Aware (globeaware.org, 877-588-4562): Offers one-week volunteer vacations in 15 different countries. • Global Volunteers (globalvolunteers.org, 800-487-1074): Offers a wide variety of two and three-week service programs in 18 countries, including the U.S. • Road Scholar (roadscholar. org, 800-454-5768): Formally known as Elderhostel, they offer a wide variety of volunteer service programs both in the U.S. and abroad usually to the 50-plus traveler. • Habitat for Humanity (habitat. org, 800-422-4828): Offers a variety of house-building trips through its Global Village Program and RV Care-A-Vanners program.

How to choose With so many different volunteer vacations to choose from, selecting one can be difficult. To

help you decide, you need to think specifically about what you want.

Ask yourself: Where you want to go and for how long? What types of work are you interested in doing? What kind of living situation and accommodations do you want?

Do you want to volunteer alone or with a group? Do you want a rural or urban placement? Also consider your age and health. Are you up to the task, or do you have any special needs that will need to be met?

Once you figure out what you want and spot a few volunteer vacations that interest you, ask the organization to send you information that describes the accommodations, the fees and what they cover including their refund policy, the work schedule and work details, and anything else you have questions about. Also, get a list of previous volunteers and call them. Don’t sign up with a group that won’t supply you with this information.

Other tips If you’re volunteering outside the U.S. find out if any vaccinations and/or preventative medications are recommended or required at cdc.gov/travel. Also, check to see if your health insurer provides coverage outside the U.S. Many health policies (including Medicare) don’t pay for medical expenses outside the border. If you’re not covered, you should consider purchasing a policy (see quotewright.com or insuremytrip. com) that includes emergency evacuation coverage.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior� book.
